The Ashtongue Deathsworn are the elite of the Broken draenei tribe known as the Ashtongue. The Ashtongue tribe is led by the elder sage Akama; the Deathsworn are officially aligned with Illidan Stormrage <The Betrayer>. The Deathsworn are Akama's most trusted lieutenants and are privy to their leader's mysterious motivations.

To discover the Deathsworn as a faction, the player must begin and complete the majority of the quest line which begins with Tablets of Baa'ri (Aldor / Scryers). Eventually, you will speak with Akama, whereupon you will become Neutral with the Deathsworn.

The majority of Deathsworn reputation is accrued from running Black Temple. Several clears of the instance should get you to Exalted quickly. Along the way, you will have access to more recipes sold by Okuno. At Exalted, you are given the achievement Sworn to the Deathsworn and can purchase trinkets like Ashtongue Talisman of Lethality, some of which were quite good back in the day.
